Hi, I'm Jimmy Vercellino! I was was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the age of 18 I made the decision to defend my country and left home. I am now a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, as well as Operation Iraqi Freedom. During my time in the Marine Corps, I traveled throughout the world experiencing countries like Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, Singapore and last but not least Fallujah, Iraq. I decided to move to Arizona in 2005 after meeting my wife while stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. By the grace of God, after completing my tour of duty in war torn Fallujah, Iraq, I moved to Phoenix, AZ with goals and aspirations of beginning a new career in the mortgage industry. It all began by printing out a resume with pretty much all my leadership skills and military experience, and walking from business to business, eventually finding a company that would hire and train me. I quickly realized that there was a huge deficiency and need for Veterans, living here in the Valley, to have a mortgage professional specializing in VA Home Loans they could trust and relate to; someone who spoke their language and understood their needs. Without hesitation, I decided to devote myself to the Veteran home buyer here in the Phoenix area, fulfilling a passion of mine while at the same time helping Veterans achieve home ownership. I have always had a great amount of love, respect, and admiration for Veterans who have served our great country. Top VA Home Loan Mortgage Originator I am now one of the Nation's top VA Home Loan mortgage originators and am a licensed and certified instructor with the Arizona Department of Real Estate, teaching continuing education for Real Estate Professionals in the Valley. You can hear me from time to time on KKNT 960 AM speaking to Veterans about their VA Home Loan benefits. I now live in beautiful Phoenix Arizona and enjoy spending time with my wife Sylvia, daughter Sylvia Ann, and son, Christian.
